Definitions
- Video-signal digital processors employing motion estimators are known in the art. Such processors are used to provide estimates of motion depicted in a time-varying image defined by a sequence of digitized image frames. Such motion estimates are useful for applications such as motion-compensated coding, frame rate conversion, scan conversion, noise reduction, and three-dimensional time-varying scene analysis and object tracking in computer vision.
- One known approach to motion estimation employs a 2-dimensional block matching process in which a block-by-block search is made at full pixel resolution between a current image frame and a previous image frame. For each target block of the current image, the problem is to compute a translational displacement to the best matching block area in the prediction image. For a search range sufficient to cover typical motions in TV, the conventional approach of exhaustive search is expensive or impractical to realize. Furthermore, the motion vectors obtained from exhaustive search may not accurately reflect physical motion of objects in the scene and, therefore, do not promote optimum image compression or error concealment.
- motion vectors are initially coarsely estimated for a pyramid-derived, reduced resolution image comprising pixels of a size that are larger than the maximum image displacement between successive image frames, then these coarsely-estimated motion vectors are successively refined on images of increasing resolution, finally producing motion vectors for the full-resolution image.
- the maximum image displacement between successive image frames at each pyramid level is ⁇ 1 pixel at that level.
- the present invention is directed to a block-matching image motion estimation method exhibiting reduced computational complexity.
- this block-matching image motion estimation method is responsive to a full-resolution 2-dimensional digitized image of a current image frame, a full-resolution 2-dimensional digitized previous image frame, N levels of pyramid-derived successively lower-resolution images of the current image frame, and N levels of pyramid-derived successively lower-resolution images of the previous image frame, where N has a value of at least 2 and each of the full-resolution current and previous image frames constitutes a zero (0) pyramid level.
- the method comprises the steps of (a) dividing the Nth pyramid level of the current image frame into a plurality of search blocks of a first size which are overlapped in at least one of the 2 dimensions, and (b) employing each of the overlapped search blocks for use in making a match search of the Nth pyramid level of the previous image frame over a given range area to determine the motion vector to that block of the Nth pyramid level of the previous image frame which exhibits the lowest match value with respect to that search block.
- a set of associated Nth pyramid level blocks is defined by projections of respective (N-1)th pyramid level blocks onto the Nth level.
- a plurality (equal in number to the number of associated blocks) of block matching searches is performed for each (N-1)th level block, wherein motion vectors of respective associated Nth level blocks are utilized to define a limited (N-1)th level search area for each search of the respective plurality of searches.
- the block matching search resulting in the lowest error value is selected for the corresponding (N-1)th level block.
- FIG. 1 diagrammatically illustrates an example of a conventional block motion estimation method known in the art employing a 2-dimensional block matching process in which a block-by-block search is made at full pixel resolution between a current digitized image frame and a previous image frame computed from the preceding digitized image frame;
- FIGS. 2a to 2h together diagrammatically illustrate a pyramid decomposition of both the full-resolution search blocks and full-resolution current-image frames of FIG. 1 into 1/2, 1/4 and 1/8th resolution blocks and current-image frames employed in the implementation of a preferred embodiment of the motion-estimation method of the present invention
- FIGS. 3a, 3b, 3d and 4 are helpful in explaining the the motion-estimation method steps of the preferred embodiment of the present invention.
- Block 100 may be a block of 16 ⁇ 16 pixels having certain x,y coordinates selected from a plurality of such contiguous blocks into which the current m ⁇ n pixel full-resolution image frame of a source image is divided, and image 102 is the preceding m ⁇ n pixel full-resolution image frame.
- Image motion that takes place between the previous image frame and current image frame may result in image displacements in each of the horizontal and vertical directions between zero pixels (i.e., stationary image in that dimension) and a given maximum number of pixels (i.e., the maximum movement that can be expected in that dimension within a single frame period).
- successive matches are made, in turn, between 16 ⁇ 16 blocks of m ⁇ n pixel image 102 and selected block 100 of 16 ⁇ 16 pixels over a range of ⁇ R x (e.g., ⁇ 128) pixels in the horizontal direction and ⁇ R y (e.g., ⁇ 128) pixels in the vertical direction about that block of m ⁇ n pixel image 102 which corresponds in pixel coordinates to those of selected block 100.
- ⁇ R x e.g., ⁇ 128) pixels in the horizontal direction
- ⁇ R y e.g., ⁇ 1228 pixels in the vertical direction about that block of m ⁇ n pixel image 102 which corresponds in pixel coordinates to those of selected block 100.
- the match position of selected block 100 is displaced a single pixel between successive matches.
- the matching process consists of computing the absolute value of the differences (or a positive function of the differences) between the digital values of the 256 respective pairs of corresponding pixels of a block of m ⁇ n pixel image 102 and the selected block 100, and then summing the 256 differences to derive a match value for that match (so that a derived match value of zero would be indicative of a perfect match).
- This matching process is repeated for each pixel match position in the search area R (i.e., 65,536 times) to determine which particular 16 ⁇ 16 block of m ⁇ n pixel image 102 has the minimum match value.
- the displacement (i.e., motion vector) between the x,y pixel coordinates of the block of m ⁇ n pixel image 102 which has been computed to have the minimum match value with respect to the x,y pixel coordinates of selected block 100 itself provides an accurate estimate of the amount of image motion that occurred between the previous image frame and the current image frame.
- this accurate estimate of image motion is achieved in the conventional block motion estimation method of FIG. 1 at the cost of a relatively high computational complexity (where "computational complexity", as used herein, is quantitatively defined as the total number of "computational operations" required to search all blocks divided by the number of pixels N in the whole full resolution image.
- computational operation is defined as a comparison between two pixels at the resolution of any pyramid level whatsoever and addition of the residual to an accumulator.
- the complexity of exhaustive search equals R because each full-resolution pixel of the current image gets compared to R different full-resolution pixels of the the previous image.
- the matching process may be further refined by generating interpolated pixel values interstitial real pixel values in the image area defined by the best block match.
- a further block matching search is then performed over a ⁇ 1/2 pixel range to provide motion vectors with half pixel resolution accuracy.
- the difference between the x, y coordinates of the block of the previous frame having the lowest match value and the x, y coordinates of selected block 100 of the current frame determines the motion vector associated with the block of the previous frame having the lowest match value.
- the motion-estimation method of the present invention is capable of reducing the computational complexity of the prior-art motion-estimation method exemplified by FIG. 1 by a factor of about 720, thereby making image motion-estimation practical and cost effective.
- the present invention employs known pyramid techniques to decompose the current image frame of a full-resolution source image and a full-resolution previous image frame into a plurality of successively lower-resolution image frames. While different pyramid types such as bandpass, lowpass, and energy may be used, it is assumed, for illustrative purposes, that a four-level Gaussian pyramid (i.e., levels 0, 1, 2 and 3) with filter kernel coefficients 1,4,6,4,1 is used, since such a Gaussian pyramid provides an efficient implementation of the invention.
- a four-level Gaussian pyramid i.e., levels 0, 1, 2 and 3
- filter kernel coefficients 1,4,6,4,1 is used, since such a Gaussian pyramid provides an efficient implementation of the invention.
- FIGS. 2a to 2h there is shown the relationships that exist between the size of pixel blocks and the plurality of blocks into which the current m ⁇ n pixel full-resolution image frame is divided at each of respective pyramid levels 0, 1, 2 and 3 for use in a preferred embodiment of the motion-estimation method of the present invention.
- FIG. 2a shows 16 ⁇ 16 pixel full-resolution block 200 (which is substantially identical to above-described block 100 of FIG. 1)
- FIG. 2b shows the contiguous arrangement of the plurality of 16 ⁇ 16 pixel full-resolution blocks 200 1 ,1 . . . 200 m/16 ,n/16 making up the pyramid level 0 of current m ⁇ n pixel full-resolution image frame 202.
- FIG. 2c shows 8 ⁇ 8 pixel 1/2-resolution (in each of its 2 dimensions) block 204
- FIG. 2d shows the contiguous arrangement of the plurality of 8 ⁇ 8 pixel 1/2-resolution blocks 204 1 ,1 . . . 204 m/16 ,n/16 making up the pyramid level 1 of current m/2 ⁇ n/2 pixel 1/2-resolution image frame 206.
- FIG. 2e shows an 8 ⁇ 8 pixel 1/4-resolution block 208
- FIG. 2f shows a 50% overlap (in each dimension) arrangement of the plurality of 8 ⁇ 8 pixel 1/4-resolution blocks 208 1 ,1 . . .
- FIG. 2g shows 8 ⁇ 8 pixel 1/8-resolution block 212
- FIG. 2h shows the 50% overlap (in each dimension) arrangement of the plurality of 8 ⁇ 8 pixel 1/8-resolution blocks 212 1 ,1 . . . 212 m/32 ,n/32 making up the pyramid level 3 of current m/32 ⁇ n/32 pixel 1/8-resolution image frame 214. It is apparent that overlapping the image blocks by 50% in each dimension of pyramid levels 2 and 3 of the current image results in increasing the number of blocks by a factor of four with respect to a non-overlapped (i.e., contiguous) block arrangement.
- the levels 2 and 3 overlap of 50% in both dimensions is simply exemplary.
- the overlap may be different in the two dimensions and the respective overlap in both dimensions may be more or less than 50%.
- the invention may be practiced by providing overlapping blocks in only one pyramid level or 2 or more pyramid levels.
- each 8 ⁇ 8 pixel 1/2-resolution block 204 occupies the same size image area as 16 ⁇ 16 pixel full-resolution block 200; each 8 ⁇ 8 pixel 1/4-resolution block 208 occupies 4 times the size image area as 16 ⁇ 16 pixel full-resolution block 200; and each 8 ⁇ 8 pixel 1/8-resolution block 212 occupies 16 times the size image area as 16 ⁇ 16 pixel full-resolution block 200.
- each pixel of block 212 occupies the same area as that occupied by 64 pixels of block 200; each pixel of block 208 occupies the same area as that occupied by 16 pixels of block 200; and each pixel of block 204 occupies the same area as that occupied by 4 pixels of block 200.
- the preferred embodiment of the motion-estimation method of the present invention comprises the following four steps, details of which will be discussed below:
- each of overlapped blocks 212 1 ,1 . . . 212 m/32 ,n/32 of pyramid level 3 of current m/8 ⁇ n/8 pixel 1/8-resolution image frame 214 as a search block uses each of overlapped blocks 212 1 ,1 . . . 212 m/32 ,n/32 of pyramid level 3 of current m/8 ⁇ n/8 pixel 1/8-resolution image frame 214 as a search block to make an exhaustive match search of pyramid level 3 of the 1/8-resolution previous image over a given range area R with respect to the coordinates of that search block (i.e., search block is displaced by a single pyramid level 3 pixel distance in each dimension between successive matches) to determine the motion vector of that one of these matches by that pyramid level 3 search block that has the lowest match value.
- each of overlapped blocks 208 1 ,1 . . . 208 m/16 ,n/16 of pyramid level 2 of current m/4 ⁇ n/4 pixel 1/4-resolution image frame 210 as a search block to make P match searches of pyramid level 2 of the 1/4-resolution previous image over, for example, a limited ⁇ 1, ⁇ 1 pixel range with each of these P match searches being made with respect to a separate "candidate" projected motion that corresponds to the motion vector of each respective one of the P pyramid level 3 overlapping blocks onto which a predetermined portion (e.g., the center) of the pyramid level 2 search block is projected, to determine the motion vector of that one of these matches by that pyramid level 2 search block that has the lowest match value.
- a predetermined portion e.g., the center
- each of contiguous blocks 204 1 ,1 . . . 204 m/16 ,n/16 of pyramid level 1 of current m/2 ⁇ n/2 pixel 1/2-resolution image frame 206 as a search block to make Q match searches of pyramid level 1 of the 1/2-resolution previous image over a ⁇ 1, ⁇ 1 pixel range with each of these Q match searches being made with respect to a separate "candidate" projected motion that corresponds to the motion vector of each respective one of the Q pyramid level 2 overlapping blocks onto which a predetermined area of the level 1 search block is projected, to determine the motion vector of that one of these matches by that pyramid level 1 search block that has the lowest match value.
- each of contiguous blocks 204 1 ,1 . . . 204 m/16 ,n/16 of pyramid level 0 of current m ⁇ n pixel full-resolution image frame 206 as a search block to make a single match search of pyramid level 0 of the full-resolution previous image over a ⁇ 1, ⁇ 1 pixel range with respect to that block of pyramid level 1 of the previous image found during the match search of pyramid level 1 to have the lowest match value, to determine the motion vector of that one of these matches by that pyramid level 0 search block that has the lowest match value.
- STEP 1 performs block match searches over a ⁇ R x /8, ⁇ R y /8 pixel displacement to cover the search range equivalent to the full resolution range ⁇ R x , ⁇ R y .
- each block match search requires R/64 match computation operations.
- the ratio of the area of a full-resolution pyramid level 0 pixel to the area of each pyramid level 3 pixel is 1/64.
- the ratio is increased by a factor of 4 (for 50% overlap) to 1/16.
- FIGS. 3a, 3b and 3c are helpful in explaining STEP 2 in more detail.
- FIG. 3a shows the relationship of a pyramid level 2 search block 300S to each of its corresponding group of four 50% horizontal and 50% vertical overlapped pyramid level 3 search blocks 302S, 304S, 306S and 308S of the current frame image.
- block 302P is that block of the previous fame image found to have the lowest match value with respect to search block 302S, during the pyramid level 3 search.
- blocks 304P, 306P and 308P are blocks of the previous fame image found to have the lowest match value with respect to corresponding ones of search blocks 304S, 306S and 308S during the pyramid level 3 search.
- Blocks 302P, 304P, 306P and 308P of FIG. 3b are diagrammatically shown spatially disassociated from one another in FIG. 3c in order to clearly show each of the pyramid level 2 blocks 300P-1, 300P-2, 300P-3 and 300P-4 of the previous fame image that corresponds to search block 300S of the current fame image shown in FIG. 3a.
- pyramid level 2 block 300P-1 has a "candidate" motion vector 310-1 with respect to search block 300S associated therewith (which "candidate” motion vector 310-1 corresponds to the image displacement between pyramid level 3 search block 302S of the current frame image shown in FIG. 3a and the pyramid level 3 block 302P of the previous frame image shown in FIG. 3b that has been found during the STEP 1 search by search block 302S to have the lowest match value).
- "Candidate" motion vectors 310-2, 310-3 or 310-4 are respectively associated with their pyramid level 2 blocks 300P-2, 300P-3 and 300P-4 in a similar manner.
- FIGS. 3a, 3b and 3c applies to the determination of the "candidate" motion vectors of STEP 3 in the same manner as described above with respect to STEP 2.
- Each of STEPS 2, 3 and 4 involves making block-match searches over a limited search range of for example a ⁇ 1, ⁇ 1 pixel displacement (See FIG. 4) with respect to block 400 of the previous frame at the resolution of that step.
- a ⁇ 1, ⁇ 1 block-match search requires 9 match computation operations with a search block of that resolution being used to match block 400 itself and each of the 8 displaced other blocks within the FIG. 4 search range.
- STEP 2 requires 36 (i.e., 9 ⁇ 4) match computation operations of block 208 (for 50% overlap) to cover its entire search range for each of its four "candidate" motion vectors.
- the ratio of the area of a full-resolution pixel to the area of each pyramid level 2 pixel is 1/16.
- STEP 3 requires 36 (i.e., 9 ⁇ 4) match computation operations of block 204 to cover its entire search range.
- STEP 3 does not employ overlap, thus STEP 4 requires only 9 match computation operations of block 200 to cover its entire search range.
- the ratio of the area of a full-resolution pixel to the area of each pyramid level 1 pixel is 1. Since there is no overlap in STEP 4, there is no increase in this ratio. Therefore, the additional "computational complexity" (as defined above) of STEP 4 itself is also 9.
- the above-described preferred embodiment of the block-matching motion estimation method of the present invention provides a reduction in "computational complexity" of slightly more than 720 (i.e., 65,536/91) with respect to the conventional block-matching motion estimation method exemplified by FIG. 1.
- the precision of the value of the motion vector associated with that single block found to have the lowest match value by STEP 4 of the preferred embodiment of the block-matching motion estimation method of the present invention may be increased in the same manner as described above in connection with the conventional block-matching motion estimation method exemplified by FIG. 1.
